Applications

Maltodextrin, a polymer chain composed of D-glucose units linked by α (1,4) bonds, is used in the development of encapsulation and nanencapsulation vehicles for use in the food industry. Maltodextrin is used as a protein Maillard-induced conjugation agent for improved solubility and foaming activity. As a sugar-matrix forming agent, maltodextrin is used in the development of orally disintegrating tablets (ODT).
